Jennifer Lopez Stars in First ‘Kiss of the Spider Woman’ Musical Trailer

Jennifer Lopez showcases her vocals in the first trailer for “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” where she stars as Aurora. Released Thursday, the trailer teases a dance-filled spectacle set to premiere on October 10, co-starring Diego Luna and Tonatiuh.

A Glamorous Aurora and a Captive Dreamer

The trailer opens with Lopez’s character, Aurora, living in luxury — taking a bath, modeling elegant dresses, and dancing onstage — as her voice plays in the background.

The scene then cuts to a jail cell where Luna and Tonatiuh’s characters, Valentin Arregui and Luis Molina, appear.

“What’s your favorite movie? I couldn’t live without movies… One I’ll never forget,” Molina tells Arregui, before pointing to a poster of “Kiss of the Spider Woman” and imagining himself with Aurora.

Lopez’s Vocals and Dance Dazzle

Lopez then sings “Where You Are” while dancing alongside Tonatiuh’s character beyond the prison walls.

“But you’re caught in the web of the Spider Woman / In her velvet cape,” she sings, her voice swelling. The trailer ends with Lopez belting, “You can run/You can scream/You can hide/But you cannot escape.”

A New Adaptation with Broadway Roots

Directed by Bill Condon of Dreamgirls and Chicago fame, this is the second film adaptation of the Broadway musical originally starring Chita Rivera. It arrives 40 years after the 1985 film that earned William Hurt an Oscar for Best Actor.

Kiss of the Spider Woman premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January, where it received standing ovations.
